I'm a veteran, living on disability. I walk with a cane.Before that, I frequently carried items in both arms.WOMEN ALMOST NEVER HOLD THE DOOR FOR A MAN, NO MATTER WHAT.I have actually had women STAND THERE & WAIT FOR ME TO OPEN IT FOR THEM! Well, I have had enough. When a woman lets a door close in my face I say EXCUSE ME loud enough for anyone nearby to hear. That usually gets them to turn around & open it. [Which means THEY KNEW I WAS THERE!] Then, I smile sweetly & say thank you, nodding my U.S.S. SARATOGA cap at them. I wore an ERA NOW button in 1984. As far as I'm concerned, you HAVE equality. How 'bout using it - ALL of it.

A little prank I like to do, if someone is approaching an elevator carrying a lot of stuff with two hands, I approach them like I'm trying to help but, when I get close to them, I try to hand them something first. I'm kinda trying to move to step 2 before I know what I'm doing. I really do this to complete strangers, then I acknowledge that I'm just screwing with them, and ask if I can help. Somehow it works when I do it, I have pretty good timing.
